holy crap! most vendors work very hard and for long hours to create a product. but i only ever see whinging because we do not practically GIVE away our creations. maybe some of you should walk in a vendors shoes before you complain at prices..........

Would you rather we not buy them at all? Because for many of us that is the only alternative. Most of us can't afford to purchase more than 25 to 50 USD worth of products per month (I can usually afford 50~150 per month, but when there are other competing sites that we split our spending between, then we're forced to wait until something is 50~70% off. (MAYBE 40% if it's something that we're at the edge of our seat to get) The fact is, for many customers, full price isn't an option (for me it probably is, if I limited myself to 5 or less products per month here, and restricted the rest of my monthly purchases to a few PC items at Daz.)

What you saying is that that effort isn't worth paying more then a dime for.

It doesn't matter if it's worth 100 bucks. If someone doesn't have 100 bucks to spend, or if they only have 200 bucks and have to prioritize on what they want to get between Daz, formerly RDNA, Hivewire, CGBytes, etc., then they simply cannot afford it, or alternatively will have to prioritize-- which isn't easy when you don't know what will be on sale on each site and by how much for the remainder of the month.

For the record I have picked up many items from Daz at 70%+ off, or $3-$5, admitted that is for some quite old Poser content that has probably earned the Vendor a fair bit over the years. They work in Poser and many are the same quality of a lot of the stuff here so there are sales that are real sales.

Excellent point-- that is a major problem here-- DAZ infrequently (between 2x a month to once every 3 months) will have a flash or even blink sale where the current gen products are 40 or 50% off, previous gen 50 or 60% off, previous genx2 60 to 70% off, and V4/M4 products 80% off. V4/M4 80% off sales are much more frequent than the other categories, and have been for the last two years.
Unfortunately, Rendo discards stagnating products far too easily (and vendors don't even have a choice over the matter, which IMO is WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! It should be 100% up to the vendors when and if they pull their own products) I don't get why 7 year old and older clearance items can't be on sale more often, while products made within the past 4 years are only on 40~60% off sale once or twice a year IF THE VENDOR APPROVES (during the holiday season and maybe 1 other time of year-- maybe.) As I said, I think it's wrong and that publishers/brokers have no right to decide if and when a vendor's or developer's product is on sale-- the publishers/brokers didn't make it, so they have no right to dictate when it is on discount and by how much.
